Living and Learning Villages

	The Alexander Global Village is a living and learning community catered to those interested in living and interacting with people from differing backgrounds, experiences, countries, and viewpoints.
	The Arts Village will unite students from various personal and academic backgrounds who have a passion for the arts and expose them to theater, visual arts & crafts, music and dance.
	First Year College (FYC) was created for students entering the university who are knowingly undecided about a major. A year of guided inquiry and exploration coupled with one on one sessions with their academic adviser helps move students through the career planning and decision making process.
	The Honors Village provides a unique living-learning environment for students in the University Honors Program (UHP) that will help participants apply class experiences. Academic engagement and research opportunities are core to the mission of the University Honors Program and student experience in the Honors Village assists students in completing UHP requirements.
	The Impact Leadership Village was established by University Housing in fall 2009. The Leadership Village is an interdisciplinary leadership based living and learning community created for first and second year students and is located on the third and fourth floors of Bowen Residence Hall.
	The SAY Village is a community for 1st-year students in any academic discipline who have a passion for working with youth. Students develop one-on-one mentoring relationships with local elementary school students and learn what it means to be a youth “advocate’.
	The Scholars Village, a collaborative effort between the University Scholars Program and University Housing, is one of the most important components of the University Scholars Program. Life in the Village centers around a wide range of social, cultural and educational activities, all designed to help University Scholars to become informed citizens, ethical leaders and active contributors to our campus and community.
	The WISE Village is a living and learning community created for freshman and sophomore women engineers, mathematicians, statisticians and scientists.

Task Force on Living and Learning

The Task Force on Living and Learning at NC State was created to make recommendations and periodically review the Living and Learning partnerships that University Housing has established. In May 2007, The Task Force presented its 5-year review along with individual reports relating to specific Living and Learning Villages.
